The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The inventory form describes it as one of the city's best examples of a modified L-plan dwelling. Its jig-sawn and turned porch details and bargeboards provide the main ornament on an otherwise simple traditional house. It is also linked to Maggie Boze, widow of builder E. S. Boze, who owned it by 1918; her husband was among Waxahachie's most active builders in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.","narrative":"This one-story frame house at 113 East Ross in Waxahachie was built around 1895 and follows a modified L-plan. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables covered in composition shingles, and wood double-hung windows with one-over-one lights. A five-bay hip-roofed porch wraps the south and east sides, with turned wood posts, turned balusters and jig-sawn brackets. Pilasters mark the corners, and an interior brick chimney rises through the roof. Turned and jig-sawn porch details and bargeboards supply the main decoration on an otherwise simple traditional dwelling. The survey recorders considered it one of the city's best examples of a modified L-plan house. Its first owner is unknown, but by 1918 it belonged to Maggie Boze, widow of E. S. Boze, one of Waxahachie's most active builders in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The house remains in residential use and in good condition, and the form notes it has been moved to its present site in a residential area north of the central business district.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Modified L-plan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition and in residential use; the form also marks the property as moved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.528729-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/22/9690/40969022/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002448.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969022","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000597"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/house-at-113-east-ross-86002448/"}
